Learn How to Start a Cement Factory from AGICO Cement
Why Starting a Cement Factory is a Good Business
There are 2 main reasons for starting a cement factory now. In the construction industry, cement has been playing a vital role as a basic building material of the national economy. With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous advancement of infrastructure construction, the cement market is increasing, providing a great demand for the development of cement plants. Also, as the updated environmental protection requirements have become more strict, and with energy prices keep rising, there is an urgent need for the upgrading of the modern cement factory.

How To Start A Cement Factory Step By Step
Starting a cement factory is not an easy job for most people, you would need a lot of professional skills and preparation. If you are confused about how to start a cement factory business, contact us now, AGICO can provide tailored EPC cement plant solutions for Cement plant construction, to ensure structural stability, efficient cement production line layout, and effective flow of materials and personnel, it requires thorough planning and design by professional engineers, AGICO CEMENT helps customer to build cement factory with advanced process improvements, energy consumption, and environmental regulations.
1. Make a Full Feasibility Study of the Cement Plant
- Market Research: The cement demand in the target market shall be analyzed before the cement plant project to guarantee its profitability.
- Site Selection: A cement plant site with raw materials like limestone and clay, and easy access to transport media and utilities. Pick site location for a cement plant with limestone and clay shall consider its easy access and transportation.
- Environmental Impact Assessment: Compliance with the environmental regulations of the local government shall be ensured.
2. Professional Cement Plant Planning and Design
An instrumentally perfect cement plant design makes the production process efficient and assures the quality of the cement products. The evaluation should be done in detail before construction work starts, and it is necessary to have the cement plant designed by professional engineers for its structural stability and the reasonable laying out of the cement production lines, flow design of materials, and personnel.
It is also envisaged to optimize the cement production process flow, control energy consumption, and meet environmental requirements, with corresponding measures planned.
- Cement Plant Layout: Designing plant layout showing the location of raw material storage, production line, and packaging.
- Cement Manufacture Technology Selection: Select the proper technology(dry process or wet process) and type of equipment to be adopted.
3. Complete Legal and Financial Setup
- Permits and Licenses: Obtain all the required permits and licenses from the local government and related authorities.
- Financing: A cement plant investment is large for most investors, it is a first choice to raise funds in the methods of loans, investors, or partnerships.
- Contracts: Approve contracts with EPC cement plant suppliers and construction companies.
4. Cement Plant Construction- Civil Engineering
Cement plant construction includes developing infrastructure such as access roads, water supply, and electricity connections to the factory site. Civil works will be carried out first before the main plant buildings and other supporting structures. Then installing and testing the cement plant machinery and equipment are part of the project requirements.
- Basic engineering: To ensure the quality and efficiency of the cement plant construction, land preparation work is necessary, involving clearing the site, leveling the ground, and conducting geological surveys and soil testing.
- Construction projects: Cement plant construction can be divided into 2 sections: factory building construction and office building construction. During the construction process, national building codes, safety measures, and relevant industry standards should be followed to guarantee structural safety, reliability, and equipment efficiency.
- Supporting facilities: A complete cement plant design always includes a series of supporting facilities to ensure the stability and efficiency of cement manufacturing plants, such as power supply systems, water supply systems, and wastewater treatment systems, etc.
5. Cement Production Commissioning
Trial Runs: Conduct trial runs with the cement equipment and processes.
The Engineering company is responsible for organizing, directing, and operating the single-machine no-load trial run and the no-load interlinked trial run, with the participation of the construction unit.
Cement equipment trial runs should proceed in 3 stages: Single machine no-load trial run; No-load interlinked trial run; Load interlinked trial run.
After successful trial runs, both parties complete the handover and acceptance procedures, transferring the equipment to the construction unit. The construction unit then takes charge of equipment storage, and maintenance, and conducts the trial run with the construction unit participating. The Engineering company and the construction unit should jointly agree on the trial run plan, and the trial run procedure should strictly follow this specification. After the acceptance of the single-machine no-load trial run is passed, the no-load interlinked trial run will be carried out.
- For cement factories with automatic interlock control devices, a no-load interlinked trial run must be performed.
- For production lines without automatic interlock control devices, a no-load interlinked trial run may not be necessary after the single-machine no-load trial run.
- The interlinked trial run time is qualified if the electrical interlock action is correct three times.
- After the no-load interlinked trial run is qualified, both parties should sign the "No-Load Unit Engineering Trial Run Acceptance Certificate," and the equipment is then handed over to the construction unit.
6. Production and Quality Control
- Purchasing of Raw Materials Reliable supply networks for raw materials like clay, limestone, and other additives are required for cement manufacturers. There are 2 aspects to this work: managing logistics to ensure on-time delivery and negotiating contracts with suppliers for quality.
- Commencing Manufacturing Normal Production starts as soon as the facility is configured and tested. This entails running the equipment by the specifications that were intended, keeping monitoring on output, and guaranteeing that quality standards are followed right away.
